Lido Proposes Pre-Authorizing Up to $1.5M in LDO and 480K USDC for CEX Market-Making Budget

Odaily News: A proposal on the Lido governance forum seeks to authorize a conditional LDO centralized exchange liquidity market-making program, to be activated only when the Lido Growth Committee determines that CEX liquidity is insufficient or may become insufficient. The plan could provide up to 7.5 million LDO from the Lido DAO treasury as recallable inventory, and allocate up to 480,000 USDC for fixed service fees and related costs over a maximum of 12 months; if not activated within two years, the authorization will expire.

The forum disclosed that LDO's average daily trading volume over the past 90 days was approximately $34 million, lower than the $43.8 million in the previous 90 days and $95.4 million in the same period of 2025.
